Why the Royal Rumble was a major letdown

1. Misuse of Daniel Bryan in The Royal Rumble:

Give the people what they want WWE! You have a superstar, a top talent in your company, and you continue to bury him just so you can push old Evolution members! You had him lose the title to Orton at SummerSlam and the fans still chanted yes. You had him win it again, only for it to be taken away due to a fast three count from a rogue referee. The fans still chanted yes! You knocked him out of the title picture, and had him feud with Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt family, and the crowd still chanted yes at the top of their lungs! You had him join Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt family on the last Raw of 2013, effectively trying to turn him heel. Guess what? The fans still chanted yes for their hero! Then, two weeks later Bryan turns on The Wyatt’s and brutalizes Bray at the end of a steel cage match, and the fans chat yes louder than ever!

So why would you take a talent that is completely over with the fans, and continue to bury him with a loss at The Royal Rumble to Bray Wyatt. You have a superstar that’s drawing power rivalries that of CM Punk John Cena and Brock Lesnar, and you just continue to ignore the thousands of fans chanting yes in ever arena! Not only did you have Bryan lose to Wyatt in the opening match at The Royal, you had to keep him away from the Main event as well! God forbid you at least tease fans a little and have Bryan as the 30th entrant for the Rumble!

The plan was obviously for Reigns to put Batista over, by having Batista fling him out of the ring for the win, but wouldn’t it have been a much bigger spectacle to see Bryan mix it up with Batista and then have Bryan lose in a valiant effort in the end? At least give The WWE Universe something to cheer about during the match! Now with Batista guaranteed a spot in the main event at WrestleMania, there’s only one thing to do now if you’re a Daniel Bryan fan. Wait until The Money in The Bank pay per view, and hope that WWE has him win the briefcase!
